Slight change of plan :rolleyes: My friend is going to pick up a new car today, apparently her OH doesn't want to go on his own :rolleyes::rotfl: I'm not surprised really, he was the same at school :shhh: Might meet up later with them before picking DDs up depends what time they get back from car shopping.

So I posted a "return to sender" and went to Asda to do the weekly shop - £17.03 and that included some toiletries I needed Was back home within 30 minutes! Got £10 cash back as I need to go to Aldi for OH and I want to pick up 1 (or 2) of their windowsil propergators...I'm thinking of using them to grow lettuce on my kitchen windowsil instead of outside where the caterpillers devour it in a day :mad:

Having 5 minutes break to check on ebay, hotmail, and update money then I'm going to pop to Aldi and shop a little bit more. NO FOOD though except for some mushy peas :drool: ...I can easily spend a fortune in there

Dailies

• Dishes
• kitchen S&S
• [STRIKE]Bathroom S&S[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]WM[/STRIKE]
  
• Evening meal - Fish portions (fish fingers for DD), jacket potatoes & mushy peas :drool:
  
• School run
• Check ebay listings

Right..off for a bit later :wave:

DeniseNZ - wow, i'm impressed with your study and that's given me inspiration to finally get ours sorted. I'm going to take a before and after picture to keep me motivated too!

Pigpen - I need the number of a good plumber, would he travel to Cheshire or are you keeping him for yourself?!?!

Kazonline - you had me howling with laugher with 'the neat freak' comment.

Moggins - hope you're back online soon and how disrespectful of kaz for that comment

Right, i'm going to catch up a bit this morning and I promise my study will be tidy by Sunday evening - what have I said!

I'm not sharing!!! lol.. I am thinking of deliberately having a leaking loo just to see if he dare face me after the things we said to each other last night.. PMSL!! Bet he daren't face my hubby PMSL.. I know I wouldn't want to face his GF!!

Bag half packed, Bathroom cleaned.. the bath was absolutely filthy.. and there I was going to get in it.. I'd have got out dirtier than when I got in!!!

I do need to clean the toilet floor but I'll do that shortly when tiddles is in bed.. not doing anything with water with her about!!

Music on VERY loud in the front room so I am going in there to clean once I have had a cuppa.

See.. no Moggster nipping at my nethers and I am actually out of my chair!!

Kitchen is spotless (apart from the floor but I can't find my brush!!)

He has learning difficulties and he HAS to go to a school with either his brother or his sister, otherwise he won't be able to go because he cannot go to school on his own. So there are only 2 schools he can actually get to and one of them he couldn't cope just looking round it, he became withdrawn and started with his facial tics and anxiety and making silly noises and silly behaviour. If he doesn't get a place at the high school with his brother (60 boys in each year.. most are really nerdy!) he isn't going, I'll home ed. him if I have to. He is pretty much guarantee'd a place as he has a brother there already. The SEN provision is WAY better at the smaller school as well which is what we were most concerned about. It is really conpetative for those aprents who want the best education their children can get. This year is the first year my city is not BOTTOM of the league tables for the crappest high schools in the country.. so the best here is like the worst everywhere else!!

The vomit is.. from yesterday I never washed it.. told you I am lazy! Lol. It doesn't smell thankfully as it was mainly water so I am not utterly gross.. ok.. I am lol.
